You're misunderstanding the point 100%, which I'm probably not too surprised by.
The whole point of the statement is to say that we are imperfect, and can never change that.
Everyone lies, every single person, you just cant deny that, because EVERYONE does at some time or another.
That doesn't mean you aren't perfect.
Ever heard someone say "youre perfect the way you are"?
Perfection is an impossibility.

We Americans live in the most prosperous nation on the planet

It's beautiful that you believe that. But it's total rubbish. America has economic problems pretty much all the time. Theyre fighting wars for oil (i know thats just my opinion, but i had to throw it in), also if education isnt private or you arent gifted then youll likely strike trouble because its far from well funded, the US doesnt make tops either according the thew UNs Human Development Index (US comes in 12th)
Human Development Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... so definetly not most prosperous.
Now if anyone wants to say I'm discussing politics, and thats against the rules, well then were going to have to stop statements like "america is the best thisandthat" because thats a political statement too.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is an index combining normalized measures of life expectancy, literacy, educational attainment, and GDP per capita for countries worldwide. It is claimed as a standard means of measuring human development — a concept that, according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), refers to the process of widening the options of persons, giving them greater opportunities for education, health care, income, employment, etc. The basic use of HDI is to rank countries by level of "human development", which usually also implies to determine whether a country is a developed, developing, or underdeveloped country.
